A seasonal story

Here's one that we just had to write about.  It's trending in the news right now; there are several accounts and a good source is the 'i'


A student was given money by a homeless person, Robbie, for her taxi home, after losing her bank card.  She was so struck by this act of kindness that she started a fund-raising campaign for Robbie.  Expecting to raise £500 the fund now stands at a staggering £20000.

The story is amazing in itself, but we were especially drawn to it, because it all took place in our local town, Preston, and the student, Dominique, studies at the University of Central Lancashire, an organisation with which we have had an association over many years.

We say, 'Well done!' Dominique and also to Robbie.  You can still donate to the fund and you will find details at the link above.
